Show/Episode: Aoi Hana (Sweet Blue Flowers) — Japan, animeWhat happened: After Fumi sees Kyouko run out of a room crying, Yasuko exits the room and avoids explaining what happened. She and Fumi go to the Fujigaya school garden, and Fumi tells Yasuko that she wants to leave the Basketball Club.

Kyouko invites Akira to come with her and her fiancée Ko (her childhood friend who she doesn’t have any feelings for, while she still loves Yasuko) to go on a group date. Fumi and Yasuko go on a fun date to the ocean, and Yasuko asks Fumi to go out with her again — which Fumi agrees to.
